Have We Told You How Beautiful You Look Lately...?

Have We Told You How Beautiful You Look Lately...?
Dear Birds,
This is just a quick blog to ask (well, beg) for your help! In case you haven’t noticed, there is a little competition going on called BE THE SOURCE.
Basically, unsigned artists upload their videos, and then the general public vote for them.
The top few get played on Sky TV and Freeview channels during September and the winning band get £10,000 and a record deal!!!
Birdeatsbaby have slim chances of winning as the top acts obviously have huge fanbases, BUT, if we win, we promise to donate £1000 of the prize money to the OXFAM Pakistan Flood Appeal.
The rest of it will go towards album recording next year, flights, PR costs and some new instruments as we are in desperate need of amplifiers, a new drum kit and bass guitar!
This is a great opportunity for you to help an unsigned act, and hopefully donate money to charity too…
Voting takes precisely 1.38 seconds so please, please, please take the time to do so… and you never know what could happen!
To vote, please copy and paste this link into your browser:
https://www.bethesource.tv/browse/video/user/423/uvid/84
We have three videos up there, so if you’ve time, vote for all three! If you wish to donate to the Oxfam charity regardless, please click here,
https://www.oxfam.org.uk/
There are several rounds to the competition, so we will keep you updated!
Thank you in advance for your time and support. It is always appreciated.
Love & Feathers,

Sad News From The Nest
Jul 19, 2010
Dear birds,
As some of already know about this news I'm sure it will come as no
surprise, but we felt it was time to make an official statement.
Ella our beloved cello player is no longer with us :(
She is now pursuing a teaching career (music teaching of course) and simply
will not have the time it takes to be in such a busy band. While we parted
very amicably, we will miss her terribly and wish her all the best for the
future.
So, if you happen to be in school, and your new music teacher has a devilish
glint in her eye, and looks pretty sexy. Then it just might be, THE CHEZ...
We will however be keeping very much in touch with Chezzer and she may well
reappear in band goings on, but for now, she has flown the nest and will be appearing in a school near you.
So... what next? Initially we thought we would look for another cellist/singer
but have decided that it is probably best if we continue as a four-piece,
mix a few things round and, well, learn how to use a micro-Korg. Await a new
sound as we head to America next year to record our new album.
If you want to catch us with our new line-up (and new look) come along to
the Secret Garden Party next weekend! We play at the Feast of Fools stage on
Saturday 24th, buy tickets HERE

before it sells out!
More (happier) news on the new EP (out in October), songbook (so nearly finished) and upcoming tourdates (with BITTER RUIN) soon.
Love & Feathers,

Birds Fly To America
Jun 13, 2010
Dearest Birds,
You may want to sit down for this blog, it’s a big one.
Our biggest news ever in fact…
Birdeatsbaby are proud to announce we will be going to America!! …to record our next full length album with award winning producer Jason Rubal.
https://www.myspace.com/jasonrubal
His production facility in Pennsylvania is one of the best, and many AMAZING artists have benefited from his skills. Namely friends of ours Bitter Ruin who had their incredible album recorded by Jason early this year. If you haven’t heard it, you can check them out here...
https://www.myspace.com/bitterruin
Our trip to America will be happening in February 2011, but we begin pre-production this November…
Too long to wait? Fear not. Our new EP is due for release in September and sounding mighty fine. More news on that later though!
Anyway, here is a little bit about Jason…
Jason freelances from a multi-million dollar studio where the clients include Dave Grohl, Henry Rollins, Aretha Franklin, and all six major labels. His private facility, Seventh Wave is where he develops and produces artists of his choice one at a time. From there he has worked with six record labels and his artists have been on the NIN World Tour, Lollapalooza Tour, Vans Warped Tour, Halo Star World Tour and others. He has worked in capacity with members of The Dresden Dolls, The Cure, Killswitch Engage, and has charted #1 on CMJ (Ben Folds took the #2 spot).
Jason has developed a big name for himself in the underground world of music by working on successful records from artists on the fringes of the mainstream. He is best known for getting a raw sound and grabbing the emotion in the room. His records are described as "flawless without sounding too perfect" and for this reason he gets booked a year in advance with some of the hottest bands from around the world.
As you can imagine, we are more than a little bit excited! In fact it's more like the picture you can see.
We plan on playing a couple of shows out there if we can manage it too, so if anyone on the East Coast is up for putting on a show, get in touch by emailing us back here!

In other news, the shows with Richard Kapp & Bitter Ruin over the bank holiday were great fun, thanks to all of you who made it! ☺ You can read Richard’s blog on his visit to the UK here

The next month will be dominated by writing, practicing and planning…mwahahahahahaha.
Then we hit the road again. Look for us at The Secret Garden Party!
Till then, ta ta birdies, love & feathers,
The Birds xxx
